After a self-prescribed hiatus, 2012 saw PRONG blow the hinges off the door with the release of Carved Into Stone. Seemingly out of nowhere, Tommy Victor and company managed to combine all the previous elements of the band’s formula: thrash, hardcore, industrial metal, etc. with a new urgency and angst that struck a deep nerve with the bands loyal fan-base and beyond.
The band marched onwards with 2014s highly acclaimed Ruining Lives which spawned a number of instant classics. Turnover, “The Barriers” and the title track became staples in their live set when embarking on a bone breaking schedule of concerts around the world in support of the record. A video for “Remove, Separate Self” was released creating even more interest in this significant recording.
Recorded over the summer of 2014 and released in early 2015, PRONGs cover album Songs From The Black Holewas loved by fans and critics alike. Always game to make the unexpected move, the album featured songs from artists as diverse as Hu¨sker Du¨, The Bad Brains, Black Flag, The Sisters Of Mercy and Neil Young.
After yet another headline tour, it was straight back to the studio for another studio album. Just days after mixing was completed, PRONG went on the road with Danzig and SuperJoint Ritual in North America and released the first single Ultimate Authority on the day the tour began.
The album that followed, X No Absolutes, was once again PRONG at their very best. The sheer intensity and ferocity of the albums opening triumvirate Ultimate Authority, Sense Of Ease and Without Words left the listener gasping for air. The album was once again followed by a massive world wide touring campaign, this time as special guest to Obituary and Exodus in Europe and to Testament and Sepultura in North America.
In between tours, Tommy Victor managed to write and record yet another album, his fourth album of all new works and his sixth recording project in as little as five years. Describing him as being at his most prolific is an understatement.
Musically, it hits home from the first bars of the mighty opener However It May End to the last bars of the albums closing track Wasting Of The Dawn. Every track is its own emotional roller-coaster ride, chock-full of massive riffage, ironclad grooves and topped off by Victors ever-improving vocal delivery.
ZERO DAYS was once again produced by Tommy Victor, with trusted collaborator Chris Collier as co-producer and engineer.
